"If America was a parliamentary system there would be a deafening call for resignation."

Bears repeating! You can bet there would be resignation.

Mr. Obama had campaigned against that pact in 2008, let it languish for two years in office, and now suddenly wants the South Koreans to agree to new terms....... They also see a less urgent need for a trade pact with the U.S. because, while... Mr. Obama has fiddled,.... the Koreans have been negotiating other trade deals with all and sundry—not least a pact with the European Union that carries nearly identical terms to what the Bush Administration negotiated in 2007..... Mr. Obama's negotiators left Seoul empty-handed.

Well that pretty much sums it up now doesn't it? He needs to stay home and take care of getting business and industry going right here in the USA...... My gosh, try and find a candy cane that doesn't say made in China! Who wants food from factories that have no regulations or sanitary conditions? Not me...no thanks.

....”this time the stakes are much higher. He’s alienated the leaders of the world to such a degree that no one will bargain with us. His incompetence is unprecedented.”....

This is more than concerning to most, I don’t know if his own party will continue to support him much longer. Perhaps they’ll keep him on but somehow keep his power limited...but if they do that then who will be in control behind the scenes? What a mess our country is in!

I negotiate as part of my work and you are exactly right, he is clueless.

Extortionists and thugs don’t negotiate. They intimidate, threaten and use other methods to get the desired results.

Please review this graph and tell me why we are talking about Republican spending.

Spending is out of control now. However, as shown the the graph you referenced, spending was also out of control while President Bush and the Republicans ran the nation.

President Bush took us from a budget surplus to huge deficits that nearly double our nation debt during his term.

I hope you do not consider a return to that kind of spending is "good enough".

This just proves that God’s Word is true. It says you shall reap what you sow, and judge not lest ye be judged. Its all coming home to zero. Everything he blamed on Bush, has come home to him 7 fold.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy/sarc

God, this man-boy
is an embarrassment to our country.

The problem is that I do not believe that Obama is in over his head. I believe that he knows exactly what he is doing, that he is purposely trying to turn world sentiment against the US and crash the dollar, to force a one world currency on the US.

Obama knows that he is not going to be able to convince US voters to go for the one world government and currency, so he’s going to get the rest of the world to force us there. It’s Agenda 21.

I do not.

However, I count on lefties to knee jerk - “””so did Bush””” ad nauseum. Looking at the graph, Bush spent at 67 MPH and before the mortgage meltdown the spending was slowing. Obama is spending at 137 MPH.

67 MPH was way bad.

We need to cut spending, not be satisfied with increasing spending less.

There was a time when Conservatives favored a Balanced Budget, not one that was 67 MPH.

Fifty and slowing is fine by me. I was at several tea parties, were you? I helped elect a big-time budget cutter as governor. Were you focusing on taking our country back, or sitting and complaining about Bush.

Continually focusing on Bush is mental onanism.
